OUR SPONSOR KODY

Kody is a humourist and comedian Belgium, of
Congolese origin, whose parents were diplomats, born on
SchaerbeekBrussels region 23January 1978
. Trained to make people
laugh,
the future humourist
showed off his
verbal wits in the playground. After several improvisation workshops, he started studying business
(and finished) then later returned to his first love. He then encountered the Kings of Comedy, who offered
him the first act in the Alexis show ‘I rêve a dream’. In true American stand-up style, the contract was
carried out with panache and Kody acted as the undisputed host of the Kings of Comedy shows, while preparing
his own one-man show.

Kody has also made a home for himself on the radio, where every Sunday he hosts, along with other humourists
from the Kings of Comedy and Jean-Jacques Brunin, the ‘Enfants de Chœur’ on the VivaCité radio station and
on television through his appearances on the Grand Cactus sur La Deux, which attracted great attention.

A king of stand-up, Kody has a scathing way with words. He mixes charisma with cynicism with the precision of
a surgeon and through talking about himself, his Congolese family, his professional experience, his
day-to-day life which isn’t so day-to-day after all, he takes his audience into the world of glamorous humour.

ABOUT ‘COMEQUI’

Our objective

Since it was founded in 2008 and regardless of the safety situation in the DR Congo
at the time, COMEQUI ASBL has been working towards its objective of providing rural
populations around Lake Kivu and especially in the Minova region, with the
resources they need to carry out sustainable development activities, in order to
increase their income and improve their living conditions.

Our resources

All projects managed by COMEQUI:

Aim to become autonomous and self-financing within 3 years.

Have their operating expenses paid entirely by its members, who are all volunteers.

Our actions

In order to achieve its objective, COMEQUI:

Works to improve coffee plantation production, by helping, supervising and training coffee growers

Encourages the creation of cooperatives to bring together stakeholders in the area

Works to promote agriculture that meets fair trade and organic standards.

Supports income-generating activities.

Invests in the social and educational training of local stakeholders (schools and rural associations)

The organisation of community fields and their mechanisation enables the transition from subsistence farming to commercial farming, able to supply local markets and generate additional income. From the very beginning, around 16 hectares have been supervised by our certificated agriculturist and had access to a tractor for carrying out farming work.

Comequi’s supporters funded the building of the ‘Ziwahouse’ to make it the nerve centre for developing economic, social and educational activities by hosting as many NGOs and local not-for-profits as possible.
